Jesus Take the Wheel!!!

Life can get crazy sometimes and it seems like we are spinning out of control. I have found that when you come unto our Savior we can get back in control of our life. All we have to do is let him guide us and tell us where to go and what to do. He is the creator of the Heavens and the Earth; He is the creator of us all and knows so He knows us better than we know ourselves. If we listen to him he will guide us to incomprehensible joy all we have to do is act upon what he says.

This song is great a young mother almost crashes in the snow and let's Jesus take the wheel. She realizes that her life is not where she would have liked it to be so she lets Jesus take the wheel of her life also. We need to let Jesus become the driver of our lives and if that happens I can promise you that you will come to happiness. I can't tell you you’re never going to crash again but I can tell you you’ll be blessed from on high.

Power of God

Men of the Priesthood do we really understand what power we hold? Do we really understand that the priesthood is the authority of The Almighty God? And do we realize that the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven(D&C 121:36)?The priesthood is needed for so many reasons to perform sacred ordinances such as baptism, giving blessings to the sick and afflicted, the sacrament, sealing families together for eternity. The Power of God I think is needed more then we realize. Men of the Priesthood we need to always stand ready and worthy to use it; we never know when god is going to call upon us to use us as an advocate to help someone. We must always be ready for when we are needed. 

This video clip is by Thomas S. Monson and he explains a little bit more why we must be ready and worthy when we have the priesthood.

TOTALED!!!!!

So the summer in between my junior and senior year of high school I was on my way home from football practice. I was tired a little sore listening to my favorite CD and eating an apple. I was behind someone at a stop sign and all of the sudden there is a loud bang my head jerks and my apple is gone and I am extremely confused as to what just happened. I look in my rear view mirror and see a man clenching his steering wheel with a terrified and confused look on his face like he has no idea what is going on. I get out of my car to view the scene and figure out what is going on. I finally put it all together that I was just involved in a 4 car pile up. A man driving way to fast rear ended the car behind me which caused him to rear end me which caused me to rear end the car in front of me at the stop sign. After a couple of hours of waiting for the police to come and filling our papers I finally got to go home. I was told that within the next couple of days someone from the man's insurance that caused this would come to check out my car to figure out how much it would be to fix. To make a long story a little bit shorter my car was deemed totaled; my car was still drivable so the man's insurance company just paid me for the worth of my car.

What I am getting at here with this long story is that car's can get totaled in accidents and are never able to drive again. I was lucky enough in this situation where my car was still drivable after the crash but in some situations the cars are not drivable after a collision.

Yes even this story can be related to the gospel. Imagine that your soul is a car, some may think that their soul is a new Cadillac or a Mercedes, some may think that theirs may be a 1982 Honda that has gone 400,000 miles and is so old the door is about to fall off. But no matter what kind of car you think your soul looks like there is a repair shop that can fix it. It can give you a new engine or transmission, it can give you a new paint job, and it can give you a new headlight and even change your tires. The repair shop I am talking about is called The Gospel of Jesus Christ. I can promise you if you begin to follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ your car will get repaired, and the coolest thing about it is it's free and there is no line to wait in! You just have go and try, you just have to pray, read the Book of Mormon and go to church and follow the commandments that are there to guide us and bless us. This Auto Shop has saved my soul and I know it will do the same for you!
